A Night in the Embrace of Azrael

About this book

Between love and blood: a journey into the corridors of 'A Night in the Embrace of Azrael.' Have you ever wondered how the face you entrust with your absolute safety can hide behind it the ugliest images of hell? In the novel 'A Night in the Embrace of Azrael,' author Youssef Khaled takes us on a dramatic journey wrapped in mystery, where nothing is as it seems and the boundaries between good and evil fade until they dissolve completely. The tale begins with 'Hind,' a girl who rejects the constraints of tradition and faces the world with her scientific mind, until she finds herself entangled in a self-defense crime against 'Om Reda,' the sorceress who tried to rob her of her will. Hind believes she has closed the door of horror, only to be surprised by the reappearance of 'Ali,' the love of her life, asking for her hand. But this love is nothing more than the outer shell of a dark reality lived by Ali's family—a family that does not hesitate to offer the blood of its children as offerings to the tombs of antiquities, and to film the most brutal scenes of violence inside locked secret boxes. The novel is not merely a narration of terrifying events but a human dissection.
